Good evening
Football and fandom have their own agenda, and so it is certainly one of the most important news for fans of and those interested in Eintracht Frankfurt that the club and coach Oliver Glasner will part. When and why does the spot editorial team of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung write? What you can read about in our evening overview of Tuesday's events: about a transport policy decision in the Rheingau, about a gun ban debate in Frankfurt and about the call for help from the Main-Kinzig district in the refugee crisis.
Call for help: 29 cities and municipalities belong to the Main-Kinzig district. In the past 14 months, 10,500 refugees have been assigned to it, and everything humanly possible is being done to accommodate and care for them well. Since the influx does not stop, something urgently needs to change, it is said in the circle, which is why he filed a lawsuit for judicial review against the distribution system of the state of Hesse on Monday. On Tuesday, one day before the federal-state summit on the refugee issue, Luise Glaser-Lotz and Ewald Hetrodt collected votes on this decision and took stock of the situation. Conclusion: It must not remain as it is.
Reconstruction: "The square is finally becoming round". This is how my colleague Oliver Bock, correspondent for Wiesbaden and the Rheinhau-Taunus district, has titled an article that, figuratively speaking, is about a stone that has been hollowed out by constant dripping: After years of fruitless discussions, the Hessen Mobil transport authority gives in. A busy traffic junction in Rüdesheim can be converted into a roundabout. If you don't live in Rüdesheim or a neighboring town and think it's not of interest to you, maybe it is. Because the neuralgic point at stake - shortly after passing through the arch of the old Hindenburg Bridge - is familiar to every visitor to Rüdesheim from the region who arrives by motorist and has already suffered from confusion and traffic jams.
Debate:A gun ban zone in Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel, however useful it may be, is unlikely to exist in the foreseeable future. The Greens oppose this, arguing that the designation of such a zone, which would allow the police to carry out checks without cause, may favour so-called racial profiling, i.e. a discriminatory approach to the selection of those who are being checked. And according to the rules of the coalition of the Greens, SPD, FDP and Volt in Frankfurt's Römer, what one does not want is taboo for everyone - even if weeks ago, in the mayoral election campaign, it was spoken differently. However, the issue is not completely off the table, and there may be a "gun ban zone light". Bernhard Biener reports.
And in addition, according to the State Statistical Office, the primary income of Hessian households, which is made up of income from employment and assets, amounted to 2021,31 euros per person in 670 +++ have had to change since Tuesday because of the crash of a maintenance gondola on the Hoher Meißner mountain in 2019, in which three employees of a Berlin company died, the managing director and an electrician of the company before the district court Eschwege +++ have warned on Tuesday the state nursing chamber, the trade union Verdi and the hospital company of a continuing shortage of nurses in Rhineland-Palatinate.
